House of the Book, Architectural landmark in Lazarus district, Poznań, Poland.
The House of the Book features three distinct levels connected by a central staircase, with raw larch slats covering the exterior and exposed concrete interiors.
Construction of the building started between 1910 and 1911, initially serving as an exhibition space for musical instruments during the General National Exhibition.
The structure transformed from an educational institution housing the Department of School Hygiene to a contemporary space offering restaurants and gathering areas.
The middle floor contains a garage, children's rooms, and a small apartment, while the ground level includes the main living area and kitchen.
The building stands on an elongated parallelogram plot, incorporating a classical shape with a dual-sloped roof designed to meet specific development regulations.
